Co-Leads Rebecca and Jonathan commented: “We are excited about this collaboration with Matt and supersonic, and we can’t wait to record the first episode of the Running Industry Alliance Podcast in July.
“Matt has been speaking to many key figures and leaders from the global running landscape over the last few years, and we are looking forward to bringing some new angles to the merger and rebranded Running Industry Alliance Podcast. Matt has a vast and varied background in the running industry, and it will be exciting to see what we can produce together for the benefit of the members, partners, listeners and followers of Running Industry Alliance – watch this space!”
Matt from supersonic added: “Collaborating with the Running Industry Alliance seems a very natural thing for me to do with the Running Industry Podcast. From the outset I wanted to reach out, reflect and publicise all that was great in the running industry; the brands that exist, those that work in it, and those on the peripheries that inspire.
“When Becs and Jonathan approached me to work together to produce the Running Industry Alliance Podcast I didn’t need to think about it, it felt the perfect next step. They both have decades of industry experience and will definitely be able to bring in some great brands, guests and people for us to engage with, from across the global running industry landscape. We’ll be producing the podcast with my production company supersonic and I really am excited to see what we can do together, as I am sure we’ll grow the audience, delve-in to the great things that happen in the industry and share some great stories along the way.”
